iOS 8.0.2 Did not fix BlueTooth issues!

I see all these complaints and threads starting up, and I am just as frustrated as everyone else. I cannot seem to get my iPhone 6 to play nice with my 2013 Acura MDX. All kinds of issues. I can listen to music, but the calling features are pointless. I can start a call, but not hang up. The call audio is kicked back to the iphone speaker after a few seconds. I've tried every solution others have recommended, but the problems persist, and I am sick of backing up and resetting every day. I did read one post where an apple sr. support person acknowledged an incompatibility issue between certain vehicles and the bluetooth in the new iphone 6. I assume this means that apple is aware of it and working on a fix, but it would be nice if they could acknowledge the issue and reassure their customers.

I also agree with several other comments about early adopter concerns. I have never seen this level of serious usability problems right out of the gate on a new Apple product. Thankfully, the iPhone 6 overcomes a lot of previous shortcomings for me, so I intend to own this model for quite some time, IF they can fix this darn bluetooth issue!

The real reason for my post is this: After leaving my car, I have found that Siri has been rendered USELESS on my phone. I can no longer dictate text or use Siri in any way until I reboot my phone. This is EVERY time my iPhone connects to my car. Anyone else experiencing this? Now I have to decide between bluetooth audio streaming/reboot my phone after every trip in the car, or having Siri available to me when I need it. I do dictate most of my text messages so this is a BIG issue for me.

I have the same problem as you for a few days but finally I solved it just now. (I use iPhone 5s)

One of my friend doesn't have any problem like me even though he uses the same 5s, then I realize that the difference between my phone and his is all the third party apps. My friend does't have any other apps except whatsapp and LINE, so I try restore the iOS 8.0.2 again but this time after finish the update instead of restore as the former iPhone we must choose restore as new phone.

Suddenly, my bluetooth is back!!

I hope this can help fix your problem.

Anyway, I'm not sure whether because of the third party apps or SIRI which cause this bluetooth problem because now I completely turn off SIRI.

I am having the same problem with my iphone5 and IOS 8 (the latest update). My phone appears to connect to my Lexus es350, but won't acknowledge the car as a source, so I'm stuck on speaker. Very aggravating, come on Apple, we need this fixed. Never had a problem until IOS 8.

I changed the name of my phone then I deleted the phone from my Honda then I tried to connect Bluetooth again and it seems to be working.

Same problem for Mazda 3 2014.

Everything worked fine before upgrade to 8.0.2. And I'd say that it has nothing to do with Siri - I'm not using it at all and it's shutdown on my 5s.

I hope that Apple will provide a fix ASAP.

I have the same problem.

Had an iphone 4s w/ iOS7. Start up my car (2015 WRX with standard CV629UM head unit) and bluetooth connected right away. Zero issues.

I upgraded to a 6+, bluetooth will not automatically connecting to the car stereo out of the box. Tried the reset all settings, removed all BT devices from stereo.

With iOS 8.0.0, the 6+ will connect if I manually forced it (Settings->bluetooth->[device]).

Updated to iOS 8.0.2, now I have to force bluetooth connectivity 2 or 3 times after turning my car on before it will connect.

I have tried various combinations of removing BT devices from both phone and other device, rebooting the phone, toggling BT, etc... Same problem.

Very annoying that this bug wasn't discovered sooner.

If any Apple iOS developers are listening, I am just down the highway from Cupertino and will gladly drive up to the Apple office and show you the problem. 🙂

For what it's worth at least for me disabling "Hey Siri" function cleared most of my problems with bluetooth. On my 2014 Mazda 3 sGT everytime I would try "Hey Siri" would cause my infotainment system to crash similar in the way described by the OP

Unfortunately this has not worked for me. I've tried various permutations of deleting the phone, re-pairing it, etc. The connection appears to be there, but the phone audio isn't. You would think they would have picked this up in regression testing, no?

Same issue for me with my Audi A4 and 5S - I can initiate a call on my iPhone and listen/talk via Bluetooth in the car but I can't control the phone via the car. It's as though there's no 2way control.

Same problem with iPhone 5c running 8.0.2 with a Mazda CX-5. Tried unpairing and all that jazz but still unable to make calls through the car. Will try a reset shortly and re-pair but sodding annoying.

Do they not have quality control @ Apple these days!

Hello, i'm from Portugal and i have this problem too. I have made the ios 8.0.2 update and now i can´t connect to bluetooth of my nissan Qashqai. The phone connect but the calls don´t pass to the audio car. My wife have an Iphone 5s with ios 7 and it works properly!

Anyone knows when apple will fix this big problem?

Thanks!

Having the issue with an iPhone 6 and a 2014 Cadillac CTS. I updated to 8.0.2 the day it was released assuming that Apple would not push two broken releases back to back. I had no issues until today. My car stopped being able to place calls through the phone Bluetooth connection. The car reports that it is connected to the phone but indicates that the phone has no network connection. Despite this indication the phone is in fact connected to the AT&T network and can place calls on its own.

I refuse to jump through hoops to clear settings, restore my phone, etc. Apple needs to fix this. As much I want to say get a fix out now I'd rather you take the time to do the appropriate level of regression testing, none of us are ready for strike 3.

As of Sept. 30: iPhone 6 with iOS 8.0.2: Bluetooth will not work properly in Porsche, or Mercedes, or Mini Cooper. iPhone 6 Bluetooth will not even connect via Bluetooth with our iMac or IPad. The iMac Bluetooth recognizes the iPhone 6, but it will not "pair". IMac message is that "The device (iPhone 6) is not compatible!" This is my second iPhone 6. Apple retail store ( Walnut Creek, CA) replaced my first iPhone 6 due to the non-functioning Bluetooth on that original device. A comedy of errors by Apple.
